Summary
Arthur & John have succeeded. They have their own separate human bodies, escaped the eldritch horrors, returned to New York, and even managed to admit to their feelings for one another. The worst is over. It should be. But, how are they supposed to behave as though those horrors never happened? And after all that time trying to find home-they never considered horror could be there too.

Summary
Oscar studies him clearly from mussed hair to scuffed boot, focusing in on the strange half-second in which he felt his way along the pew in order to move closer. Time had not been kind to either of them, leaving its obvious marks in various places. Instead of pointing out new scars, the wrinkled state of his jacket, how the knot of his tie was not quite tight enough, he simply drinks him all in to the best of his impartial ability. It is not easy.
“You’re still thin,” he admonishes kindly. “That always worried me, you know?”
Carefully he lifts his remaining hand to Arthur’s face, palm cupping one side of his jawline as if feeling along the bone there. Automatically Arthur closes his eyes, sinking into the touch. Just as soon as he leans against the fleeting shiver of heat, it’s gone.
Arthur and John return to what they left behind, hoping for a fresh start.

Summary
Do you remember?
There was a pause. “Remember what?”
Any of it. All of it.
Everything we’ve
Stanley stiffened, then hit backspace a few times.
Everything I’ve done.
~•-•*•-•🚪•-•*•-•🚪•-•*•-•~
Stanley’s life is simple. Every day, he walks a path he’s walked before, towards the same end it always leads to, and nothing ever changes.
Until one day he learns something the Narrator doesn’t want him to know. Something that will change both of their worlds forever. Something that will set him on a hunt for something he never knew he needed to look for, and confront him with a truth he’d never thought was true:
His choices do matter. And some of them can only be made once.

Summary
The Narrator realizes Stanley is a real person, subsequently has a mental breakdown, and desperately tries to release him from the parable, which — as one can imagine — is against corporate wishes and goes fcking horribly. Everything he knows and relies upon turns to dust under his hands as he slowly realizes he has no control, and the consequences of his actions crush his will to live into a teeny-tiny ball. Stanley breaks a couple bones and nearly breaks the narrators nose, if he had one. The cycle ends, but bitterly. Bloodily.
Yet somehow despite all logic they gonna turn gay eventually. Very eventually. Very, very eventually. Buckle up.
